*** COMPLETED *** - Murrin familly - Thanks to everyone ***
« on: Monday 27 August 12 21:03 BST (UK) »
I am looking for records for the Murrin family who emigrated to Australia, sometime between 1871 and 1875.

The family consisted of Thomas Murrin born about 1824 in Devon, UK, his wife, Mary Ann, born about 1828, and their children, James 1849, William 1851, John 1852, Thomas 1854, Elizabeth Ann 1857, Albert 1859 and Francis 1866.

I have found the family in the UK census 1871, and I think Francis died in 1875 in Cross Roads, Moonta, South Australia.

Anything that anyone can find relating to this family will be very much appreciated.
Researching the names Mckenzie / Mackenzie from Ross and Cromarty especially Scoraig and Rherivach.

The names Fraser, MacGillivary and Grant from Daviot & Dunlichity.

The name of Fraser from Lanarkshire.

The name of Bell from Northumberland.

The name Chilla / Chylla / Chyla from Poland.
